CADRE RESTRUCTURING OF POSTAL ACCOUNTS
The Cadre Restructuring Committee appointed to go into the issue of Cadre restructuring of Sorter/LDC/DEO and JA&SA met on 05-07-2011 at 11 AM. The following members attended the meeting.
1. Sri. Manish Sinha, DDG(PAF)
2. Ms. Sharon Shefali Gupta, Director Internal Audit
3. Sri. R. Magadevan, ADG (PA-Admn)
4. Sri. S. Santosh Kumar, President, AIPAEA
5. Sri. T. Satyanarayana, General Secretary, AIPAEA
6. Sri. Vidyadhar Pathak, General Secretary, BPAOEA
7. Sri. S.K. Mishra, Dy. General Secretary, BPAOEA
The Committee unanimously accepted the proposal of the AIPAEA and agreed to recommend the merger of Sorter/LDC/DEO with a nomenclature of Accounts Assistance with the Grade Pay of Rs.2400. It is also agreed to recommend separately the Grade Pay of Rs.4200 to Junior Accountant, Rs. 4600 to Senior Accountant & to maintain the relative parity to Stenographers and Rs.5400 to AAO (after 4 years of service in the GP of 4800). The official draft with full justification will be prepared within a week and circulated to all the members. The process for getting the approval of the competent authority will start after that. The recommendations regarding the core accounting cadres (JA &SA) will be sent to Ministry of Finance.
In addition to the above the following issues are discussed.
1. Amendment of Recruitment Rules of LDC. It is pointed out that due to the enhancement of the qualification from 8th pass to Matriculation for the promotion to LDC cadre under Seniority cum Fitness quota; the existing seniors are denied the promotion. Hence, it is requested to amend the RRs and retain the earlier qualification of 8th pass for SCF candidates. It is agreed to suitably amend the RRs.
2. Amendment of Recruitment Rules of Junior Accountants. It is pointed out that due to the enhancement of the qualification from Matriculation to 12th pass for the promotion to JA cadre under Seniority cum Fitness quota; the existing seniors are denied the promotion. Hence, it is requested to amend the RRs and retain the earlier qualification of Matriculation for SCF candidates. It is agreed to suitably amend the RRs.
3. Group B status for Senior Accountants. It is requested to take a decision independent of other Organized Accounts, as the Postal Department has already brought the S.A. under Gr.B (non-gazetted) category. It is also impressed upon the DDG (PAF) the need to take a quick decision in this regard. DDG (PAF) has ordered for re-submitting the file.
4. Rule 38 Transfers and Protection of Pay. Due to denial of Pay protection for those officials who were transferred under Rule 38, a great injustice has been perpetrated. The DDG (PAF) is in agreement of our view point and assured to find ways to undo this injustice.
